ECOFIBER POOL FILTER MEDIA (1kg)

The future of Swimming Pool Filtration. It's Simple. Eco-Fiber is the lightweight alternative to other filter materials and ensures crystal-clear water. How to use Eco-Fiber
Switch the Pump/Filtration system off making it safe to work on.
Open the filter lid, replace the bolts in the holes they came from. This avoids sand getting in there while removing the old sand.
Remove all the old sand, being careful not to damage any of the filter fingers inside, ensure that the filter fingers are not blocked with sand and clean if necessary
Once all the sand is out, ensure the breather pipe is not blocked. (If your filter is fitted with one)
Rinse the filter with clean water doing your best to get rid of excess dirt which may have been left inside. The hard part is done.

How long does Eco-Fiber last?
Every Swimming pool is different, condition and environment depict how often ECO-FIBER® would need to be cleaned. We recommend once every 3 months, some pools go 6 and others even 12 months. However, your Automatic Pool Cleaner is the tell-tale. When it starts to get sluggish, basically the ECO-FIBER® is saturated with dirt and in

Switch the system off and open the filter lid.
Remove all the ECO-FIBER® from the filter.
Do your best to remove the remaining sediment & dirt from the bottom of the filter.
Using a bucket with clean water, dip and squeeze the dirty ECO-FIBER® blocks as your would do rinsing a bath sponge. You will need to replenish the bucket a few times with clean water.
Once clean, add ECO-FIBER® back into the filter.

Water and Electricity Savings by Switching to Eco-Fiber
Each pool differs in flow rate depending on pump size, distance from pool etc. etc., but, assuming the following;

A 0.75kw pump has a flow rate of 266lt a minute.
It uses 750 Watts per hour
Cost of water is 0.0135c per litre
Cost of electricity is 0.001c per Watt
WATER SAVING DUE TO NO BACKWASHING

226lt x 0.0135c per litre = R3.50 per minute.
50 x 8 minutes backwash and rinse = R28 per backwash.
R28 x 2 backwash per month = R56 per month.
R56 x 36 months (3 years) = R2016 water saving over 3 years.

ELECTRICITY SAVING DUE TO REDUCED PUMP RUNNING TIME BY 2 HOURS A DAY

001c x 750 Watts per hour = 0.75c per hour.
75c per hour x 2 hours a day = R1.50 per day x 7 days = R10.50 per week.
50 x 4.2 weeks a month = R44 per month.
R44 per month x 36 months = R1584 electricity saving over 3 years.
A total of R3600 savings in Water and Electricity over 3 years

based on current rates which will be going up drastically over the next few years.
